Chapter 104 The Last Battle

In the open space outside the warehouse, the two men each held a large sword weighing more than 30 kilograms. This large sword is a ceremonial sword, used as a decoration in sacrifices. It weighs 35 kilograms, which is ten times that of an ordinary long sword. Ordinary people cannot use it.

But Xiao Xia and Xiao Xin were able to easily use the sword by directing their Dan Qi to their arms. This was a breakthrough in the body's potential after the internal energy had been broken. Not only their eyesight, hearing, and perception, but also their speed and strength were greatly enhanced.

The two men shouted loudly, raised their swords and rushed forward at the same time, the two swords collided in the air, "bang!" There was a sharp sound, and everyone quickly covered their ears.

Xiao Xin's dancing sword flew up and down, and Xiao Xia blocked it with his sword horizontally. He suddenly remembered Yuwen Chengdu's horizontal boring move, which was exactly the same as his own horizontal sword. Xiao Xin's sword could not penetrate him at all.

Xiao Xia found a loophole in Xiao Xin's hand and wrapped his sword around the opponent's sword. He twisted his arms vigorously and shouted, "Get rid of it!"

Xiao Xin only felt a huge force pulling his sword outwards. He could not hold the hilt of the sword anymore. The sword flew out of his hand with a "whoosh!" and stuck heavily into the courtyard wall.

Xiao Xin was stunned with astonishment. This was the first time that the weapon slipped out of his hand since he started practicing martial arts. Xiao Xia's twist just now must have exerted a force of at least a thousand pounds, otherwise, with his own power to break through obstacles, how could the weapon slip out of his hand?

Xiao Xin was not convinced, "Let's try again!"

Xiao Xia's blood rushed to his chest, and he also shouted: "Why not use long weapons and ride horses to fight!"

Xiao Xin nodded, "Let's give it a try!"

The two men each picked up a weapon and rode their horses at full speed all the way to the martial arts training ground. Xiao Xin picked up a Qinglong halberd and Xiao Xia picked up a long spear. He had practiced Shan Xiongying's spear technique and integrated the Shan family spear technique into the Tan style thirteen swords, creating the thirteen spear techniques.

This is what Zhang Jue told him. The Thirteen Swords of Tan Style can be used on any weapon, but it cannot be used directly. One must use creativity to integrate spear techniques and sword techniques into the Thirteen Swords, turning them into Thirteen Styles of Spear Techniques and Thirteen Styles of Sword Techniques.

At present, he had only mastered the thirteen-style spear technique. At this time, Xiao Cong came and shouted, "Stop it, don't hurt the opponent, and affect tomorrow's competition!"

Both of them were holding real weapons, which really made Xiao Cong worried.

The two men urged their horses to gallop at a rapid speed. Xiao Xia was the first to thrust out with his spear, just like the thirteenth sword technique, with an incomparable speed, as if the distance disappeared, as soon as he thrust out, he appeared in front of him in an instant.

Xiao Xin was horrified. At the critical moment, he reacted quickly and raised his halberd to block the halberd. Unexpectedly, he missed the target. Xiao Xia's halberd was like a drawer, retracting and retracting. The move was simple, but the speed was too fast. Xiao Xin could not react at all, and the halberd pierced Xiao Xin's chest armor.

Xiao Xin stood there for a long while, then sighed, "My master said that your speed is more than ten times better than when the three Xiaos fought, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that I was short-sighted!"

Xiao Xia smiled slightly and said, "Actually, the moves are very simple. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed!"

"Not only are you fast, you are also strong. I have a suggestion for you. Use a solid iron rod for the tree-breaking spear. Add strength to it. In two or three years, I won't be able to see your top anymore."

"Thanks for your advice, brother!"

The next morning, the third round of competition began. Twenty-one families participated in the competition. In the end, the three major families from Jiangdu County came to the end and competed for two trading company quotas.

The competition was still held at the Sixth Pier. Compared with the previous two rounds, this final round was much more grand. Four large tents were built around the competition field and covered with carpets. Important figures from each family sat in the tents.

Including Yang Zhao, Li Min and his wife, and Chai Shao and his wife, they were all stakeholders. Once they got the quota, the Xiao family would have to pay 30,000 strings of cash to the court to buy the wharf and warehouse.

Xiao Gui drew lots in the organizer's tent. Today, Yang Xiong was personally hosting the game. There were six lots in the lot bottle. Two lots were drawn for the first, second, and third rounds, facing down. The heads of the lots were wrapped in paper, and the paper could only be torn off to see the results after all the lots were drawn. Xiao Gui drew two lots. He had been very lucky these days, especially because he drew the luckiest bye lot, which allowed him to avoid the second round of eliminations and become a great contributor to the Xiao family.

The three families drew lots, and each of them had two lots in their hands. Yang Xiong nodded and said, "You can tear them apart now!"

Xiao Gui tore open the paper covering the lot and saw the words "First Game, Second Game" written on it.

The Chen family had the first and third games, and the Liu family had the second and third games.

The host immediately announced, "The first match will be between the Jiangdu Xiao family and the Jiangdu Chen family!"

Inside the tent, Xiao Xin and Xiao Xia also drew lots. Xiao Xin drew the first game and Xiao Xia the second game, against the Liu family.

Xiao Xin slowly drew out his sword and walked onto the stage. He was used to using a sword, not a knife. As expected, the warriors from the three families all put on armor.
Xiao Xin's opponent is Chen Xiao, who is also at the seventh level of martial arts. However, according to Xiao Jianli's observation, Chen Xiao and Chen Mu's internal strength are not solidified. They are both half-baked. Both of them are thirty years old and have not completed the foundation building. It means that the solidification of the internal strength has failed. They can only rely on drugs to maintain a short-term state of breaking through obstacles.

According to Li Yuan's four classes, both of them were in the warrior class and served the powerful.

Of course, Xiao Xia and Xiao Xin were also warriors and served their family, but both of them were eager to be upgraded to military generals, so they put on armor, took up weapons, and had a horseback competition in the martial arts training ground.

"Dang!" A crisp bell rang and the competition began.

Chen Xiao was a fast swordsman. He took the initiative to attack and stabbed Xiao Xin with his long sword like a storm. Xiao Xin was very patient and did not rush or get impatient. He fought with the opponent. Xiao Xin was a master who had successfully consolidated his essence. Compared with the opponent, his biggest advantage was that his barrier-breaking state was stable and lasting. The biggest problem with relying on drugs to break barriers was instability.

Xiao Xia had a deep feeling before that the barrier-breaking state would disappear without knowing it.

After the two fought fiercely for a quarter of an hour, Chen Xiao still failed to break through the opponent's defense line. He was a little exhausted and began to switch from offense to defense.

Xiao Xin, on the other hand, began to turn from defense to offense. His sword swung faster and faster, and he became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Chen Xiao became more and more exhausted. Suddenly, Chen Xiao screamed, and his sword fell to the ground with a clang. He was pierced in the arm by Xiao Xin's sword.

"In the first round, Jiangdu Xiao family won!"

Dozens of Xiao family members cheered. This was the last round of competition. Each family had only two competitions. Winning one meant a 70% chance of getting a spot.

Because the worst result is that each team wins one game, and then three more games will have to be played, but the possibility of this is only 30%.

The most crucial game is the second one. If Xiao Xia wins, not only will the Xiao family advance first, but they will also have the highest points and can choose the dock first. The Xiao family will definitely choose Pier 7. Pier 7 is at the edge. Although the court does not allow unauthorized expansion, there is a lot of vacant land next to it. They can buy the land and use it anyway. Pier 6 is sandwiched in the middle and has the smallest area.

Xiao Cong advised Xiao Xia: "Learn Xiao Xian's patience and don't rush for success!"

Yang Zhao also patted his brother on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful the other party is, he can't compare to Yuwen Chengdu!"

The emcee shouted, "In the second match, the Jiangdu Xiao family will face the Jiangdu Liu family!"

There was suddenly an uproar in the arena and Liu Shili walked out.
